Letter: Urban chicken coop brings people together

My six urban chickens have brought together a remarkable group of people. There's the ex-offender who helped build the coop; there's my neighbor, who collects restaurant leftovers for "The Girls;" there's the Public Market vendor who gives me lettuce; there's an incarcerated man who coaches me on chicken care; there's a vet who has given me her cellphone number; there's my grandson, who shares chicken riddles with me; there are home-schoolers who come to learn chicken economics; there is the Rochester City Chicken Club; there are church friends who bring their dandelions for treats; there are folks who leave table scraps at my door; there's the couple who takes the used bedding to enrich their garden; there are friends' grandchildren who come to meet Ella, Nella, Chella, Jenny, Henny and Penny, watch a hen lay an egg, and leave giggling. Ah, the benefits of city living!
